Just to put a cap on this in case anyone runs into a similar problem in the future and finds this thread.

The above is exactly what it was. Check out the marks on the clutch fork and all of the metal in the bell housing I found upon removal.



And I didn't run it like that very long either.

I took a 1/8" off of the bottom of the Tee pivot block and rounded in smooth the ridges on the Clutch fork where it was rubbing the pressure plate just in case.

This is where it had rubbed on the pressure plate





and where the yellow marks are on the side of the fork is where it was hitting the edge of the pressure plate and the bolt heads...the area that I ground down just a bit to make sure.



I test drove the car tonight and it all works great, no strange noises and the clutch engages and releases just like it should. The pedal travel and engagement spot seem very similar to where they were before, so I'm gonna call it good. Now I just have to break it in.
